If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation of each zone depends on the power level selected. When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert is sounded and if the zone is hot the symbol will show on the display. 6. 4 Protection from hob overheating If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the electronics will have trouble cooling down if the room temperature is high.
